    Default Christmas gifts I've been working on...

    I've been using my embroidery machine to make some Christmas gifts! I have an older embroidery machine...a Viking Scandinavia 400...so it's still quite a bit of "work" to get everything right...not like the newer machines...but I still enjoy using it!

    BTW, I know that there should be an apostrophe in the person's name...but for some reason, I couldn't get my machine to do one. So forgive the improper grammar!

    I love the emboidery. Maybe you could freehand an apostrophe with some satin stitch.

    Or even just a french knot. Really cute gifts!

    I think you did a lovely job. I would put them in my kitchen anytime (just for show, wouldn't want to spoil them.)
    Older machine - creating beautiful work = skilled embroiderer
